Chapter 449: Chapter 417: Mutated Martial Saint_1

“It’s the grown man’s lifebound spirit beast, the Purple Crystal Demon Ape. I never thought I would see it again!”

Two Martial Ancestors looked at the terrifying body of the Purple Crystal Demon Ape, their emotions a mix of excitement and exhilaration.

At Xiao Tian Yuan’s level, there were few who could force him to call forth his spirit beast. The once famous Purple Crystal Demon Ape had not appeared in the world for over a decade.

Now, after laying dormant for more than a decade, the power of the Purple Crystal Demon Ape was not only undiminished, but it seemed stronger than at its peak.

“The venerable Xiao Tian Yuan indeed!”

As the two people trembled in awe and excitement, Xiao Tian Yuan, who had transformed into the Purple Crystal Demon Ape, clenched his fist and struck at Xu Mu.

Facing an attack that was like a mountain bearing down on him, Xu Mu merely extended his left hand, adopting a posture of support.

He didn’t raise his hand because he wanted to counterattack–he merely feared messing up his own hairstyle.

Boom!

The Purple Crystal Demon Ape’s fists came crashing down, and a terrifying energy emanated from beneath its fists. The ground trembled, and the soil was swept up and around like a tidal wave.

The city walls a hundred feet away collapsed from just the residual shockwave of the strike.

This was not the end, the Purple Crystal Demon Ape’s eyes shone a bright purple as it lifted its fist and smashed down again.

Punch after punch, for more than a dozen blows, the soil on the ground was thrown up like sand and stones, obscuring the sky and earth.

Using their formidable strength, the two Martial Ancestors saw the situation at the centre of the field first. The ground attacked by the Purple Crystal Demon Ape had sunk at least a dozen feet, as though a meteorite had struck. The surrounding rocks showed signs of melting due to the friction.

And in the midst of this, Xu Mu, a figure as tiny as an ant, was caught in the midst of the Purple Crystal Spirit Ape’s fist, as formidable as a mountain.

The incongruity of the scene made the two of them feel like they were about to vomit blood.

“How is this possible!!!”

Not only do the two not believe it, even Xiao Tian Yuan, who had launched the attack, didn’t believe it.

He had exerted his full strength, even if a Martial Emperor faced such an attack, it wouldn’t be possible to come out unscathed, even more inexplicable was that Xu Mu did not summon his own lifebound spirit beast throughout.

In this world, only when a spirit beast is called upon does it represent the loss of full strength.

This means, Xu Mu, who had blocked the attack, didn’t use his full strength.

“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”

The scene before him caused Xiao Tian Yuan’s impregnable martial arts heart to almost collapse.

This was such a blow to his spirit!

The greatly shocked Xiao Tian Yuan, his rationality was immediately engulfed in anger; his transformation into the Purple Crystal Demon Ape quickly shrank, reappearing as his own body, his body started to grow fur, evolving into a half-human, half-ape form.

“Did Martial Saint go mad? How is this possible!!!”

Looking at the transformation taking place in Xiao Tian Yuan, the two Martial Ancestors were too shocked for words and felt as though the sky was falling.

The Martial Saint himself is the strongest person in the country, now with him going mad and his body mutating, no one in the entire Da Xia Nation could stand up to him?

Unless a Martial Emperor steps in to organise, the entire Da Xia Nation will face a total disaster.

Such an event is not unheard of in history, every time it happened it was a catastrophe.

If it were a Martial Emperor undergoing such a transformation, it could herald an even greater disaster.

But when one reaches the level of a Martial Ancestor or Martial Saint, their minds are as firm as rocks and indestructible. Even if they were to go mad suddenly, even if they were unable to stop their transformation, they could opt to take their own lives ahead of time, so such occurrences are very rare.

Only if the martial artist intentionally lets themselves go mad does it happen.

Now, in front of these two, such a disaster that had not occurred in hundreds of years was unfolding.

They’re finished now!

The two sighed inwardly in despair.

The two Martial Ancestors did not know the extent of the shock Xiao Tian Yuan had undergone, and thus were unable to understand his decision.

Moreover, Xiao Tian Yuan, who had lost his sanity, only wanted to defeat Xu Mu, even if it meant risking his life.

He couldn’t believe that his painstakingly cultivated martial arts could be so vulnerable.
